Evening Reading

by Nick Breckon, Aug 05, 2009 6:00pm PDT

Well, we won't be playing a finished StarCraft II this year. Completely predictable, but still kind of a bummer. It's really been shaping up lately.

News:

StarCraft II delayed to 2010, Diablo 3 unaffected
Xbox 360 Games on Demand launch titles listed
Guitar Hero Van Halen tracks, release date revealed
A bunch of Serious Sam HD screenshots
Steam will be down for a bit tomorrow

You guys might remember that cool OnOne DSLR Remote iPhone app that worked by tethering your camera to a laptop or pc and then you could use your iphone to view and adjust settings and take photos and stuff via wireless? And how it was Canon only?

They've got a new version sent into Apple for approval, and pretty much every Nikon since the D40 is supported now. Kick. Ass.

Javascript and Regex help. Say I have a span tag with a given id, inside this span there can be multiple spans. Now to make it even more fun this isn't on the html page itself but actually in a string. I'm having trouble parsing everything within the main span tag with regex. Is there some way I can load this string into say some dom object that isn't on the page and use getElementById?

shack audio peoples.

I come to you with hat in hand and ask you: Is there a good quality wireless headset with mic that I can use for both my computer and my PS3. I'd love to be able to just grab my headphones and walk downstairs to the PS3 and plug in a little USB fob and have them work. For the PC I would use them for music, skype and games.

I was looking at the Sennheiser, but can't seem to find out how they connect.

Also.. I need a tiny pair of speakers for the pc that take up very little room, but has decent sound for skype. Wireless as well would be preferred.

FALLOUT 3

I know I'm almost a year late to the party (or maybe more? when did it come out) BUT I have had it since it came out.....however, I just now finished the storyline.

Can someone please fill me in as to how the ending isn't the most abrupt, horrible conclusion to game, especially one with such a massive, story driven build up from the start - EVER.

The last 'boss'/conflict encounter was a joke....and the game just kind of stops....I was totally expecting so much more? Am I the only one who expected something epic and just felt like it ended flat and dull.
